The MixForward utility routes the data packages received from POS-terminals to the IP address and port of the POS server in accordance with the settings specified in the configuration file. In addition, the utility allows you to establish a connection between a POS Server and a remote Server providing data.

The utility can receive the data packages from POS-terminals via the following network interfaces:

  1. RS-232.
  2. UDP.
  3. TCP/IP.

The received packages are forwarded to the IP address and port of the POS server via the TCP/IP interface.

Note

  • The IP-address and port number of the POS-server are determined using the routing id specified in the data package from the POS-terminal.
  • The MixForward utility also allows routing of data packages received from metal detectors.
  • The MixForward utility works with Axxon PSIM and Axxon One.

The MixForward utility is launched using the MixForward.exe executable file located in the <POS PSIM installation directory>\Modules\Pos\Forwarders\ folder.

The utility converts data from POS-terminals to XML protocol using the dynamic library plug-ins. These plug-ins are located in the <POS PSIM installation directory>\Modules\Pos\Forwarders\Protocols\ folder.

Note

The protocol in use is set by the ProtocolName parameter in the mixforward.exe.xml file (see Setting up the MixForward utility).

Plug-in settings files are located in the <POS PSIM installation directory>\Modules\Pos\Forwarders\Protocols\Settings\ folder.

Transformation files are located in the <POS PSIM installation directory>\Modules\Pos\Forwarders\Protocols\Transformations\ folder.

If logging is enabled, the log files will be located in the <POS PSIM installation directory>\Modules\Pos\Forwarders\Protocols\Logs\ folder.

Temporary files created by some plug-ins will be located in the <POS PSIM installation directory>\Modules\Pos\Forwarders\Protocols\Temp\ folder.
